YOGA TRAINING ELEMENTS
All of our programs incorporate the following curriculum components:

Experience is the best practice as students get to move through the real time application of yoga techniques and come to know the effect on their own body. Each day we have three sessions dedicated to guiding different components of the practices including breathing and Kriyas, movement based asana practices and meditation, relaxation and devotional practices.
TECHNIQUE AND TRAINING
In these in depth workshops, the skill and techniques in applying certain practices and asana alignment modification, adjustment and propping techniques will be shared with more hands on demonstration and group interaction so that students can learn and assimilate a greater understanding and apply it in their practice.
ANATOMY WELLNESS THEORY
Each day will contain practical applicable anatomy golden nuggets with the help of pictures, illustrations and demonstrations, to really show students what is under their skin in order to facilitate a greater awareness of what is happening as we move through our practice.
PHILOSOPHY AND THEORIES OF YOGA
These sessions will dive deep into the history and background of Yoga, discuss the meaning of Yoga and delineate essential yogic concepts in the study of Key texts such as the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali and Bhagavad Gita.

TEACHING PRACTICUMS
This is the opportunity for students and those serious about teaching to get stuck in an just start trying to teach. We do this from our very first day with non intimidating mini tasks to slowly ease you into the flow of teaching and getting use to being seen and heard and building rapport with students. This is where you can start to play and explore your own unique approach to sharing your practice.
STUDENTS SELF STUDY, REFLECTION AND INTEGRATION
